SUMMARY: The South Carolina Department of Public Health has confirmed two cases of West Nile virus in Myrtle Beach. Although West Nile is relatively rare in the area, the mosquito season continues into early fall following recent rain from tropical storms. Dr. Paul Richardson notes that most individuals may not show symptoms, which can include fever, headaches, and muscle aches. While the overall case numbers are similar to last year, authorities are enhancing aerial mosquito spraying in Myrtle Beach, though nearby areas are maintaining their current eradication efforts. Residents are advised to use bug spray and wear protective clothing.

SUMMARY: In a poignant statement to the committee, a father advocated against the release of his children’s mother, who is serving a life sentence for their deaths. Reflecting on the lasting emotional trauma, he expressed that her actions were intentional and that she had never shown remorse. The father, who revealed that the grief led him to contemplate suicide, argued that the 30-year sentence was insufficient, given the severity of the crime. He pleaded for the committee to deny her release, vowing to attend future hearings to ensure justice for his children.

David Smith, the father of 3-year-old Michael and 14-month-old Alexander, spoke in opposition at the parole hearing for his ex-wife Susan Smith, who murdered the two boys in 1994.
